Windows? If yes, beware! You can't copy the links via FTP, and a CD with long file names is not going to do you any good since it will be in Joliet format - i.e. Linux will only see 8.3 file names and not the long names it expects.
Could you ask a sysadmin to prepare a disk image with mkisofs on a Unix system for you? You could ftp that image and burn your CD from that. If you have a Debian Linux system, install the mirror package and make the image yourself. Thomas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
